Stream: Earl Sweatshirt – Doris

Listen to it now...

Earl Sweatshirt is streaming his new album 'Doris' online – listen to it now.

Perhaps the most naturally gifted member of Odd Future, Earl Sweatshirt is also one of the most reclusive. As the band's rise became inevitable, the rapper's mother became concerned and placed him in a school on the island of Samoa.

'Where's Earl?' became a cause celebre, with the rapper seeming to gain in prestige via his absence. Returning to record a winner-takes-all final verse on Odd Future's 'OF Tape Vol. 2' Earl Sweatshirt then began focussing on a solo album.

Utilising Odd Future cohorts, Earl Sweatshirt began building the material which would become 'Doris'. Snippets appeared online over the past few weeks, but last night (August 15th) the rapper placed the entire album online to stream.

Listen to it now.
